       The first and best banana bread i ever had was from Fremont  Farmers market. i use to look forward for Sundays...i enjoy shopping at Farmers market..its fun for me...bet any foodie will agree with that.  
        Alas! left Fremont and now in New Jersey...all i experienced here was snow storm so no question of farmers market in winter...So, decided to make banana bread.                  
        This recipe will make one loaf of bread. the Pan size i used was: 8in.*3in.*2 1/2in.  want more than one loaf just double the amount of all ingredients. The result is not bad at all...so here is simple and easy Moist Banana Bread
